The correct answer is:

1983 B. C.

Explanation:

To subtract this, we can reverse the order and make the answer negative. The reason for this is that we are taking away more than we have, so we will have a negative answer.

4000-2017 = 1983

In terms of time, though, we don't deal with negatives, we deal with A. D. and B. C. The use of A. D. is for dates after the year 1; B. C. is for anything before this. Since our number is "negative," it will be 1983 B. C.
